A Functional Annotation Pipeline
The Blast2GO Command Line is a professional solution for flexible, high-performance and automatic functional annotation tasks. This Annotation Pipeline allows you to integrate and automate your functional annotation task in a flexible way. Generate high-quality results in a reproducible way directly integrated into your data analysis workflows.
High Performance
The command-line version of Blast2GO allows you to analyse large dataset on your performant computing servers will nearly no extra effort.
Flexible
Easily integrate your functional annotation tasks within your custom analysis pipeline and run different analysis scenarios in parallel.
Automatic Data Generation
Generate all the statistics charts Blast2GO offers in an automatic fashion. This includes a summary report in PDF as well as images and text file formats.
Reproducibility
Control the whole analysis with a simple configuration file. This allows you to set up different analysis strategies and reproduce the multiple scenarios for one or various datasets.
Secure
Run BLAST, InterProScan and the Blast2GO annotation offline on your own servers according to your security requirements. Take 100% control of data sources and versions you use throughout the analysis.
Licensing Options
Several options are available to license the Blast2GO CommandLine depending on your setup scenario.
- Single Server License: This static licence allows to install the CommandLine on one server/workstation. No paralell executions are allowed. To request a trial license please fill this form .
